[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) processing refers to the traditional methods and techniques of processing Chinese medicinal materials into decoction pieces, guided by TCM theory and in accordance with TCM requirements. In ancient times, this process was also known as "cooking and purifying," "refining," or "repairing." Processing enhances efficacy, reduces toxic side effects, and facilitates storage, making it an essential step in clinical TCM use. Currently, the most common TCM processing equipment on the market is the decoction machine.

[0003] The traditional decoction machine device still has certain shortcomings during use: after the decoction is completed, the operator needs to manually open the lid of the current decoction machine, use external equipment to fix the porous barrel to the upper side of the liquid, and use a handheld pressure plate to continuously squeeze the decoction filter bag in the porous barrel. The overall operation is time-consuming and labor-intensive and relatively inconvenient. In addition, after the equipment is used, the entire equipment needs to be cleaned. However, during decoction, due to the concentration of the medicine juice, some impurities and other components in the medicine liquid will precipitate and deposit on the bottom of the decoction barrel, forming medicine scale. Therefore, it is more troublesome to clean the inner wall of the decoction barrel, and often a large amount of manual operation is required.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, the control motor on one side can drive the second screw to rotate, and then the second movable member drives the first top cover and the second top cover to move longitudinally.

[0032] A cantilever 14 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support rod, and the end of the cantilever 14 is fixedly connected to the second top cover 19 through a connecting block. The cleaning assembly 7 includes a water outlet pipe 24, which is rotatably connected to the second top cover 19. The water outlet pipe 24 is located on the surface of the lower side of the second top cover 19 and is equipped with several nozzles 26. The bottom of the water outlet pipe 24 is fixedly connected to a mounting part 25, and the surface of the mounting part 25 is fixedly connected to a cleaning brush 27.

[0033] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the top surface of the bracket 1 located on one side of the decoction barrel 2 is fixedly connected to a cleaning pool 3, and the bottom surface of the cleaning pool 3 is connected to a sewage pipe, which extends to the lower side of the bracket 1.

[0034] After decocting the medicine in the decoction barrel 2, some liquid medicine will remain on the surface of the porous barrel 5. At this time, the first screw 10 can be driven to rotate by controlling the motor, so that the first movable part 12 drives the porous barrel 5 to move to the upper side of the cleaning pool 3. Then, the second screw 11 is driven to rotate by the control motor, and the porous barrel 5 is lowered to the appropriate position and then the electromagnet 16 is turned off to let the porous barrel 5 fall into the inside of the cleaning pool 3, so that the staff can quickly clean it.

[0035] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the top side of the bracket 1 is fixedly connected to the first fixing frame 4 through a fixing block, the first fixing frame 4 is internally rotatably connected to the first screw rod 10, the surface of the first screw rod 10 is threadedly connected to the first movable part 12, and the first movable part 12 is slidably connected to the first fixing frame 4.

[0038] The second screw rod 11 can be driven to rotate by a control motor on one side, thereby allowing the second movable member 13 to drive the first top cover 18 and the second top cover 19 to move longitudinally.

[0039] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the surface of the water outlet pipe 24 located on the upper side of the second top cover 19 is fixedly connected to a driven gear 20, and the top of the second top cover 19 is fixedly connected to a driving motor 21 through a fixing plate. The output end of the driving motor 21 is fixedly connected to a driving gear 22, and the driving gear 22 is meshed with the driven gear 20.

[0040] After the equipment is used, it is necessary to clean the entire equipment. However, when decocting medicine, due to the concentration of the medicine juice, some impurities and other components in the medicine liquid will precipitate and deposit on the bottom of the medicine barrel 2, forming medicine scale. Therefore, it is more troublesome to clean the inner wall of the medicine barrel 2, and often the manual operation is large. At this time, the second screw rod 11 can be driven by one side control motor to rotate, so that the porous barrel 5 is moved out of the medicine barrel 2, and then the first screw rod 10 is driven by the other side control motor to rotate, so that the second top cover 19 can be moved to the upper side of the medicine barrel 2, and then the second top cover 19 is lowered and in close contact with the top of the medicine barrel 2. At this time, the pump body is started to allow the cleaning water in the water tank 9 to be sprayed onto the inner wall of the medicine barrel 2 through the nozzle 26. At the same time, the drive motor 21 is operated, and the water outlet pipe 24 is driven to rotate through the cooperation of the active gear 22 and the driven gear 20, so that the cleaning brush 27 can scrub the side walls and bottom of the medicine barrel 2, thereby scrubbing off the medicine scale. This structural design does not require manual cleaning of the inside of the medicine barrel 2, and the cleaning effect is good.

[0041] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a rotary joint 23 is installed on the top of the water outlet pipe 24, a water tank 9 is provided on one side of the bracket 1, a hose is connected between the water tank 9 and the rotary joint 23, and a pump body is installed on the surface of the hose.

[0044] By providing two control motors, the first screw rod 10 and the second screw rod 11 can be driven to rotate, thereby allowing the first movable member 12 and the second movable member 13 to slide inside the first fixing frame 4 and the second fixing frame 8 respectively.

[0045] The working principle of the Chinese medicine processing device provided by the utility model is as follows:

[0046] The first step: after the equipment is used, it is necessary to clean the entire equipment. However, when decocting medicine, due to the concentration of the medicine juice, some impurities and other components in the medicine liquid will precipitate and deposit on the bottom of the medicine barrel 2, forming medicine scale. Therefore, it is more troublesome to clean the inner wall of the medicine barrel 2, and the manual operation is often large. At this time, the second screw rod 11 can be driven by the control motor on one side to rotate, so that the porous barrel 5 is moved out of the medicine barrel 2, and then the first screw rod 10 is driven by the control motor on the other side to rotate, so that the second top cover 19 can be moved to the upper side of the medicine barrel 2, and then the second top cover 19 is lowered and in close contact with the top of the medicine barrel 2. At this time, the pump body is started to allow the cleaning water in the water tank 9 to be sprayed onto the inner wall of the medicine barrel 2 through the nozzle 26, and the driving motor 21 is operated at the same time. The water outlet pipe 24 is driven to rotate through the cooperation of the driving gear 22 and the driven gear 20, so that the cleaning brush 27 can scrub the side wall and bottom of the medicine barrel 2, thereby scrubbing off the medicine scale. This structural design does not require manual cleaning of the inside of the medicine barrel 2, and the cleaning effect is good.

[0047] Step 2: After the decoction is completed, the current decoction machine requires the operator to manually open the lid, use external equipment to fix the porous barrel 5 to the upper side of the liquid, and hold the pressure plate to continuously squeeze the decoction filter bag in the porous barrel 5. The overall operation is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In this device, when the decoction is completed, the electromagnet 16 can be turned on to allow the electromagnet 16 to adsorb the top of the porous barrel 5. Then, the second screw 11 is driven to rotate by a control motor on one side, and the second movable part 13 drives the first top cover 18 to move up to a suitable height. Then, the electric telescopic rod 15 is operated to allow the squeezing plate 17 to squeeze the decoction filter bag inside the porous barrel 5, so that the excess liquid medicine inside can smoothly enter the decoction barrel 2. This structural design eliminates the need for manual operation by workers, and the structure has a high degree of automation.
